I think it means he did it wrong

Your Homeworld directory should look something like this, ok so i cut the top off the picture and i dont know what mod this is, use your imagination...

If it dont look something like that you aint installed the mod right. Exciting file called readme kinda covers that.
Homeworld itself has tried to defeat XP on a number of occasions, right click on Homeworld.exe and try the compatability modes.
Make sure you have patched Homeworld to v1.5? or summin like that.
If the game dies on occasion for no apparent reason try playing with the 3d modes in HW.

Im bored, does it show?

Get a nice cold beer from the fridge or possibly a bar, sit on a sun lounger and take a nice long slow sip of the ice cold nectre. Maybe a bit later on get some peanuts, a Panama hat and stroll around the local town in a pale white suit looking like the man from Delmonte. mmmmm cool Jazz.
